The Bryden Road Temple Brother- hoo<l will commence its 1!»30 series of program's during the next few, weeks, It was announced by Dr. Samuel Edelman, president, at a meeting of: the Brother¬ hood Board held last w.eek'at the Lazarus Tea Room. ¦ ' ,
A meeting is being planned' soon, for the entire male membership of the Bry¬ den Road Temple at which time an out¬ lined program will be presented; and- electioil of officers will take place for the ensuing year. ,^ ,
The programs. held last year received much commendation, fron\ many sources and those who attcnded.enjoyed fully the variety and novelty of ¦¦the series which vvcre educatio)ial-and, very, entertaining.
The program., committee this year will make every; effort to outdo last year's meetitigs,.witli,,new;,interesting features and speaker^, whot.'.are, outstanding in, their respeci^ve field*., ,
The following]; jtj^nibers are active, in planning the iflSft.program: Dr. S. D. Edelman, L A" Glick, S. Weinfeld, A. Weinfeld, Jack, B. Woolstcin, Robert Weiler, Max JU...Hw<''"rff' Allan Tarsh¬ ish, L. Goodman atld Rabbi Jacob Tarsh¬ ish. ';rh:, '; ' ¦
, More than five hundred names have already becii enrolled in Columbus to¬ wards the quota of fifteen hundred sig¬ natures assigned here by the National Zionist RoH Caii committee, it was an-: nouriced by Rabhi Solomon Rivlin,'who is acting as chairman of the local en¬ rollment drive.
According to Robert Mellman, presi¬ dent of the Columbus Zionist district, Rabbi Werne has heen working consist¬ ently and enthusiastically in the enroll¬ ment drive antl has already 'signed more than a hundred names thru his own ef¬ forts. Members of the District have all received booklets containing space for ten signature enrollments and are mak¬ ing effort to pass the Columbus quota. ,,It vvas mentioned liy Maurice Samuel, noted author, and 2ionist leader who spoke last Thursday at the Broad Street Temple under the auspices of the Colum¬ bus Zionist District, that this roll call- in America is the strongest method of ex- presshig to the Arab leaders that Ameri¬ can Jewry can not he frightened-nor in¬ timidated in lessening their enthusiasm and support for the endorsement of the progress'made by the Jewish pioneers in Ealestine.
'"The political agitators in • Palestine, are endeavoring to'arouse thru .supersti¬ tion, ignorance and religious fanaticism I the Arab" tribesmen to make periodic on¬ slaughts on the unprotected settlements i>f the, Jewish pioneers, and thus discour-1 age the Spirit and activity of world Jewry'in behalf of Palestine. Our an-1 s'wer should be an overwhelming list of new names expressing sympathy and I endorsirfg'tlie" lirave spirit and enthusi¬ astic! activity of the Chaluzlm.; in their, work to rebuild the; Jewish National ^ Homeland," continued Maurice Samuel.'
Many names were enrolled at the Sam-, \id meeting. The campaign will continue in the synagogs, at group meetings of; Jewish organizations, and in the homes, until December 31.
"^olumbus Zionist activity has re^' ceivc<^ a new Spirit and energy since the riota and outbreaks in Palestine, and programs this year will be more out-; standing: than any previous time/' saift, Allan Tarshishj; chairman of the local executive committee.
On December 8th, there will be the hew election of members of the Exec¬ utive Board. On March 23rd, a concert will be arranged at which a beautiful radio will b^ given away.

Watch the Chronicle for further details
[regarding this affair.
Propaganda, circulated among the ig¬ norant in Palestine, was largely respon¬ sible for the recent iniiurrcclion o£ Arabs against the Jews, Rabbi Lee J. Levinger, director of the Hillel Foundation at Ohio State University, told his audience last Sunday morning at the Fotmdatipn, 9G East 18th Avenue. ¦ Rabbi- Levinger's,'sermon was deliv¬ ered as a book review of "Wiiat Hap¬ pened in Ir'alestiiic," a new book written by Maurice Samuel, Jewish author, -who recently si)oke here at the Broad Street __ Temple. . ' .
Rabbi Levinger retold the story pf the riots and narrated how 200 Jfews were killed wliile several hundred Arabs were slain.
"In two. places, cHbron .and Safed, the riots were simple massacres, as the Jews there were old people or young Talmud students, without means of self- defense,'' Rabbi Levinger declared. "In the farm cplori:cs; however, and' in the Jewish city of Tcl Aviv, the Jews de¬ fended themselves to good purpose, though nowhere were they the attackers," the rabbi declared.
Whole System Dropped
Since the tiprising, the whole system of propaganda has.been dropped and the affair is being utilized iiow for propa¬ ganda against the -British, mandate and the Zionist movement, according to Rabbi Levinger. ,
VI f the great mass of Arabs had risen, the Jews of Palestine would have been wiped out," Rabbi Levinger said. "The mass oi Arabs, however, are peaceful people, friendly with the Jewisli settlers. They owe to them the rising prosperity of the country, the new means of sani¬ tation .and nicdical treatment, the im¬ provement in industry and agriculture, with far more to come.
"Great Britain promised the Arabs po¬ litical independence because of their help to the allies during the war, and they" now possess Arabia- and most of thp lands where Arabs dwell. Palestine was hot included in this pledge; however, be¬ cause it was promised to th^ Jews that they might build, a national .home there. Even so, the Arabs in Palestine enjoy many times the political freedom -which they poiisessed under the Turks.
No Political Desires
'The Zionist prpgriam is the only one not motivated by political desires, but solely by love of tlie ancient homeland of the Jewish people.- The Jews are content to have a British mandatory; they do not wish to rule the Arabs of Palestine. They, want only the right to, a restricted immigration, to build roads, to buy and improve land, to drain swamps, to electrify the waters of the Jordan, to build schools and a univer¬ sity. '
"Their program is one of work, not of conquest. Peace with ' the Arabs i Is a necessary preliminary of Jewish-work in Palestine. The mass of the Arabs are willing; only a few agitators object, using religious arguments W'th their ig¬ norant followers and political argumenta with the British and American, public.
Palestine is guarijnteed for the bold experiment of a Jewish national home, for returning to,the soil there a few of the Jewish people who left it by force 1800 years ago. The experiment is guaranteed by Great Britain in thei Bal¬ four declaration, by the League of! Na¬ tions through the San Remo treaty, by the United States through congressional resolution, by the Jews of the world through the newly organized Jewish Agency; The Jews there ask merely for a period of peaceful labor, to construct a Jewish cultural center and a Jewish agricultural and industrial center in the spot where their people ruled and Wrote the Bible milleniums ago."
DR. ABRAMSON TO SI*EAK
BEFORE MENORAH
SOCIETY
Dr. B. W. Abramson's talk on ."The Renaissance of Hebrew Literature'' will be given at the Menorah Society's, next meeting, Sunday, November 24th, at tlie Hillel F"oundation, beginning at ti-M p. m. The meeting was postiioned from last week till homecoming diy oii ac¬ count of faulty printing of the notices sent out, much to the cbagrin oE all of us who are eager to hear Dr. Abiamson, whose interest in this pha:>e of Jewish culture marks him as one eminently well worth hearing.
